About the Semiquincentennial Program<\/p>\n

To celebrate the nation\u2019s Semiquincentennial in 2026, the United States Mint will be updating well-known U.S. coinage, such as the circulating dime, nickel, quarter, half dollar and the collectible penny. Other popular Mint products will feature special privy marks, dual dates, and design changes, as well.\u00a0<\/p>\n

About the United States Mint<\/p>\n

Congress created the United States Mint (Mint) in 1792, and the Mint became part of the Department of the Treasury in 1873. As the Nation\u2019s sole manufacturer of legal tender coinage, the Mint is responsible for producing circulating coinage for the Nation to conduct its trade and commerce. The Mint also produces numismatic products, including proof, uncirculated, and commemorative coins; Congressional Gold Medals; silver and bronze medals; and silver and gold bullion coins. Its numismatic programs are self-sustaining and operate at no cost to taxpayers.<\/p>\n
